Riccardo Agostini takes it all at the Monza’s opening round of Carrera Cup Italia

Monza, 1 June 2015

Riccardo Agostini showed well at its debut in the Carrera Cup Italia, as he takes it all in the first out of seven rounds at Monza for Antonelli Motorsport-Centro Porsche Padova. The Italian racer, set the second quickest time in qualifying and claimed the victory in Race 1 after the French series reigning champion Côme Ledogar paid one-second penalty for cutting the chicane at the first lap, while fighting with Agostini who made a great start from the first row, taking a good pace and setting the fastest lap.

Similar situation it was on Sunday in Race 2, as Agostini (taking the start from the third row due to the reversed grid) led from the first laps, before cutting the first chicane when he was on top. After the chequered flag, marshalls considered his maneuver and gave the Italian driver one-second penalty that put Agostini on the second place, but his team lodged an appeal and the result of the race remain provisional.

Anyhow the Monza weekend ended in the best way for Agostini, who set the quickest lap again. Padova-based driver will face the next round scheduled at Imola on 27-28 June as championship leader, sharing the first place with Ledogar.
